Computer technicians can now gain access to your computer remotely and sabotage your computer. They use a software known as Team Viewer to take control of your computer to plant malicious viruses on your computer’s storage. Once they gain control of your computer they then scare tactics on by showing you harmless computer errors and calling them “serious.” Then they plant viruses in the background of your computer and tell you it will take 299$(or whatever they ask for) to fix it. These are…

are designed to spread to computers and meddle with computer operation ("What Is a Computer Virus?"). Fred Cohen correctly coined the term computer virus in 1985. Viruses secretly attach themselves to a document or another program and they execute when that document or program is opened. Viruses require user action to execute. This means that the user must do something to trigger the virus. However, once it is triggered it replicates itself by spreading to other computers. As mentioned on…

Computers and artificial agents become more and more sophisticated every year and more frequently involved in human’s everyday life. This increases the need to interact with them in a more natural way, similar to the way we interact with each other. Museum tour-guide robots (Nourbrakhsh, 1999) and robots that interact with the elderly (Montemerlo, 2002) demonstrate that we do not need robots just to interact with people, but also that there is a need for the interactions to be smooth and natural…
